Bunu is excited to make friends at her new school, but when some kids make fun of her unique name she is sad and doesn’t know what to do. Bunu must learn, with the help of her mother and a few new friends, to be happy with who she is no matter what people say.
Advance Praise
Because I’m in the military, my kids had to attend new schools quite often. And also like Bunu, they have unusual names. So, they can relate to the story very well. They love this book, by far one of their favorites! - H. Joiner
I bought 3 books, one each for my grandkids. I had them to read the book together. After reading, they had to explain to me what they read. My gkids are about a year apart (6,7,8). When they started telling me the story, they kept interrupting each other explaining the story. They were excited in their explanations. They and I enjoyed the story and the moral of the story. A very good lesson for all kids and adults. I highly recommend. - J. Fox
I bought this book because like the author, I too have a unique name and so does my little nieces. I wanted them to know how special they are. I love the core message of this book. It's simple and teaches kids how to appreciate their differences. I would definitely recommend this book for children. I love that it was written from a place of experience. - A. Perez
What was it like to be a child? Was it whimsical? Was it painful? Many of us look back at our childhoods and find a mix of emotions buried deep in our memories. The story of Bunu, the girl with the unusual name, is no exception. This delightful tale of youthful discovery will take you on an inspirational and heartwarming journey about coming-of-age lessons that so many of us can truly relate to. The story of Bunu, eager and energetic, being confronted with the sometimes unpleasant nature of people as well as the awe inspiring truth behind her name and family origins is a powerful way to teach today's youth about the morals of perseverance and fortitude as well as many others. It takes us along as brave little Bunu learns to demonstrate the qualities many a parent wishes their child could learn to embrace as they embark on their own journeys through life in this world we all share. - M. Garcia
Amazing book! My nephew loved it so much! This is great for kids of all ages! 10/10. - B. Harris
One of the highlights for me is the relatability of Bunu. Many of us have face similar situations growing up. “What’s her name?” is a great read for all kids, to let them know a positive way to respond to bullying and to be proud of who they are. - E. Larkins
Great book. I really appreciate how it addressed childhood bullying. Your childhood is important. The way you are treated as a child is with you for life. - N. Scott
